Unless did it originally say that she was a co-lead (I don't remember)? A good comparison might be Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I see it as both Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt's movie, they both are in so much of the trailers and are the same size on the posters but DiCaprio was nominated for best actor and Pitt was nominated for and won supporting actor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was her I would probably be pissed. Let's not make up stuff to be mad about. 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not Harley) OBVIOUSLY she has the supporting role. In comparison to what that means in other movies look at Ariana in Wicked. Glenda’s role is very much prevalent and significant yet she also is supporting. Must everything be awful for y’all? It was always very obvious when Gaga led the film announcement on her socials. It was sooo obvious when all the key art aside from character key art featured both her and Joaquin equally. The film is called Joker: Folie à deux, or Joker Madness of Two. FaD also refers to shared psychosis. It's not obvious at all that she wasn't considered a co-lead, because it was never meant to be obvious to begin with. The main character(s) are drive the story itself and the focus of the story. They're behind the themes of the story being told. Ariana is not comparable in this scenario because she is not the force behind the theme, although she is a literary device to build the story. Glinda in Wicked is the foil to Elphaba, a character designed to contrast the main character and highlight how different the two are. Lee, from the marketing, moves in the same direction, at the same place, with the same goals and thoughts, as Joker throughout the marketing. The entire thing is sold as a convergence of the two characters to drive the theme of the film. Y'all are fighting to defend this when the studio intended for it all to look like this. It's disingenuous. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Hamon 5,980 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) But why would either a lead or supporting submission automatically boost her chances? It's about the competition right? All the awards contenders movies aren't out yet so the sup' actress race may be harder to win than the lead one eventually.

Takox 275 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I think supporting is a better choice because it is a less competitive category so Gaga has a better chance there. See the world with me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting boosts her chances because the competition is very weak this year for supporting. Zoe Saldana and Selena are on top of every prediction list and they are from the same movie. A lot of actors do category fraud and submit for supporting so that it ensures them winning despite them having a lead role. But in this case, its probably due to Gaga's screentime that she will be delegated to supporting. I'm not very good with Social Mediaᵀᴹ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even though the characters are similar, the focus will be on how the relationship with harley influences him and his decisions in the film.

Nessun Dorma 2,368 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 At first I thought Lee was a major character, but since the reviews popped up, it’s pretty clear that Gaga has a supporting role. So supporting actress makes total sense and I’ll be very happy if she gets a nomination! All of her scenes so far were breathtaking and I’m sure her performance will be memorable, even if she’s not the leading actress! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisapillar 8,191 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 1 hour ago, InTheCloset said: She actually is. The promo for her movie is far better. Plus she has started saying that she dyed her hair and eyebrows to get away drom her pop persona and bring glinda to life. So they are campaigning well Ariana will not be nominated. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
